I can't speak much about his past catalog but I think the Bernt Friedman
mixes on the new Pole record are ace. They remind me of why I like the
Flanger albums so much. A little tongue in cheek lounge-jazz meets dub
meets glitch.
BTW the whole 'R' album is great. Top notch mixes from all. The Kit
Clayton trax smoke. And all over the record I find (gasp) mostly untreated
guitar chords? Excellent!
